We’ve been “kicking the can” down the road for the last 60 years or so. It’s called diplomacy, and in all likelihood, it’s the only thing that has stopped an all-out civil war in Korea, and maybe even a war with China. When we don’t engage in diplomacy, and say, our president wags his piggly little dick at NK, all we…

Suggestion for the column: a double-feature of “Dr. Strangelove” and “Fail-Safe”. (Each merits its own entry, but on watching both, you’d swear Stranglove is a parody of Fail-Safe... until you realize they were filmed at the same time and released in the opposite order.)

I perceive that you are not yet tired of winning.

It’s a great piece of film, though I tend to think Threads is the better one given it commits relentlessly to the darkess of the concept.

I hope the fire is Tormund and drawing it out involves butt stuff.

If you’re going up against someone like Littlefinger with his “little birds” he’s no fool and you have to commit to the lie. Just because you think you’re alone doesn’t mean you are in this show. People who were watching closely saw little things like them leaving the door open when they argued. We didn’t see Arya…

Although kinda pedestrian compared to undead dragon fire, I thought the White Walkers chose east watch due to its proximity to the sea, which would freeze over due to the harsh winter. And then they would simply walk across the frozen shore and around the wall.

Big deal. So does Ser Pounce.

I presume the theory is that the Night King has a sort of three-eyed raven of his own. Or at least someone who can see the future. So it’s not so much tactical genius as an unfair advantage (since Bran is so fucking useless). “Ah yes...my brother is committing incest, as we speak.. Someone should tell him...”

“Ah. I see that the man who pushed me out of a tower as a child, crippled me for life, and arguably contributed to me turning into an emotionless creeper is back. Would you like to hear the story of my sister’s brutal rape?”

But somehow...it all still kind of makes sense?

There was that comet in the sky that signaled dragons hatching back in S2, remember? The others are old enough to know what that means.

Everything the Nights King has done since has been to bait whoever has them into showing up - he might have even know prior to that. Remember the poor bastard they cut loose in the…

I’m going to recommend this, just to help confuse your ratio.

It’s definitely cancerAIDS.

I’m the long time AVClub commenter known as Electric Dragon, non confusingly known as Electric Dragon on Kinja, although I’m still in the greys because the legacy Disqus migration still isn’t available. I’m not known as anything on Twitter as I refuse to have anything to do with that wretched hive of scum and…

I’m a Twitter user by the name of Valondar but long time AV Club commentator known as Douay-Rheims-Challoner, but confusingly also known as Kegg under Kinja, which I’m sure won’t make this any more perplexing. I never thought I’d be featured in an AVC article but here we are.

LeVar Burton: I remember doing the obstacle course against Kurt Russell. I don’t remember how I did, but I’m going to say for the purposes of this conversation that I smoked him.
